Silent Depth – LANTERN-ECHO Autonomous

⚓ SILENT DEPTH – PACIFIC ESCALATION World War 3 Simulation

A high-tension submarine command simulation

You are the sole commander of a modern submarine operating deep within an escalating Pacific conflict. There are 149 hostile submarines in the theater. You will face them one at a time—and you only get one hull.

Every decision matters.

Every torpedo authorization carries consequences.

One mistake ends the campaign.

⚓ CAMPAIGN STRUCTURE

• 149 sequential combat phases
• One enemy submarine per phase
• If your submarine is destroyed, the campaign ends immediately
• Sink all 149 contacts to achieve total victory

This is a long-form endurance campaign, not a short session game. Progress is auto-saved so extended operations feel authentic and deliberate.

🧠 LANTERN-ECHO COMBAT AI

SILENT DEPTH features LANTERN-ECHO, an onboard predictive combat AI that evaluates outcomes before you act.

LANTERN-ECHO provides:

• Contact bearing and range
• Counter-fire probability before you authorize a shot
• Depth and thermocline concealment analysis
• Escalation pressure and risk forecasting
• An interactive command console where you can ask tactical questions in real time

Authorize a torpedo only when the risk is acceptable.

🌊 DEPTH, THERMOCLINE & ESCALATION

This is not point-and-shoot combat.

• Operating below the thermocline reduces exposure
• Remaining too shallow increases detection risk
• Escalation rises as the campaign progresses
• Enemy counter-fire probability grows over time
• Late-campaign encounters introduce cinematic evasive maneuvers instead of cheap difficulty spikes

The ocean itself becomes part of the battlefield.

🎮 Latern Echo Has FULL SUBMARINE CONTROL

• Manual heading and throttle control
• Silent running, cruise, and flank speeds
• Dynamic depth management
• Guaranteed-hit torpedo authorization—balanced by escalating consequences
• No twitch reflexes required—this is command decision gameplay
• You fire the torpedo.

SILENT DEPTH – PACIFIC ESCALATION

Command is not about firing first. It’s about surviving the last contact.
